- Description
- The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services intends to award on a sole source basis, under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures, a firm fixed priced award to IMS Health, 660 West Germantown Pike, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462 for data to support the development of U.S. expenditure estimates for prescriptions drugs in the National Health Expenditure Accounts from IMS Health. IMS Health will provide 2005 and 2006 data from the National Prescription Audit and Time Series Data from the Retail Method of Payment Report for the number of new prescriptions, number of refill prescriptions, pharmaceutical acquisition dollars and total retail dollars. IMS will also provide data on VA Centralized Mail Order Pharmacy Expenditures and DDD Class of Trade Report. The IMS National Prescription Audit data was determined to be the most comprehensive source of prescription drug information on the market. No other data set could approach the reliability and consistency of those offered by IMS Health. The large number of retail pharmacies that report to IMS (a 20,000 pharmacy sample), the innovative computer design used to collect the data, and the use of sophisticated sampling techniques employed makes their database a superior one. All responsible sources may submit capability statements in consideration to the Agency at the above address.
